2025 Horizon Europe Cluster 5 Opportunities Matching ARD Group Informatics

In the context of the 2026 calls of Horizon Europe Cluster 5: Climate, Energy and Mobility, ARD Group Informatics aims to support consortia with its expertise in AI, data platforms and digital transformation to help deliver climate-neutral, resource-efficient and digitally enabled solutions.

Who we are

ARD Group Informatics is a Türkiye-based technology company with extensive experience in EU-funded R&D and innovation projects, particularly under the ITEA Cluster. We are a certified R&D center and a publicly listed company, offering scalable digital solutions across sectors including healthcare, public services, logistics, finance and law. Our key strengths include AI-powered platforms, semantic interoperability, data integration and IoT-based monitoring systems. We actively engage in international cooperation through networks such as ITEA and EUREKA.

Building on this background, our teams design and implement end-to-end software solutions that collect, integrate and analyse data from heterogeneous sources, and turn them into intuitive dashboards, decision-support tools and digital services. We have hands-on experience as technology provider, integrator and work package leader, collaborating closely with public authorities, industry and research organisations. We now aim to transfer this experience to climate, energy and mobility use cases under Horizon Europe Cluster 5.

What ARD can offer under Cluster 5

1. Smart energy systems and climate-aware digital solutions

   • Data platforms for energy systems, integrating data from smart meters, sensors, building management systems and other sources.

   • AI-based analytics for forecasting demand or generation, detecting anomalies and identifying patterns in energy use or emissions.

   • Digital twins and simulation tools for local energy systems, neighbourhoods or campuses to explore “what-if” scenarios and policy options.

   • Interactive dashboards and monitoring tools to track energy efficiency, emissions and KPIs in real time.

2. Sustainable and smart mobility / logistics

   • Data integration platforms combining traffic data, public transport information, IoT streams and contextual data.

   • AI-driven analytics to understand mobility patterns, identify bottlenecks and support evidence-based urban and transport policies.

   • Digital twins of mobility systems where cities or operators can virtually test infrastructure, service or regulation scenarios.

   • Operational dashboards and control panels that present mobility and logistics KPIs and support incident management.

3. AI, LLMs and advanced analytics

   • LLM-based decision-support tools enabling natural-language interaction with complex datasets.

   • Custom machine learning models for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, demand prediction and risk assessment.

   • Privacy-aware data handling, including synthetic data generation and controlled access for sensitive datasets.

By combining AI, robust data engineering and user-centric design, ARD helps consortia produce usable, explainable and scalable digital solutions that can outlive the project and support real-world adoption.

Possible roles in Horizon Europe projects

In Horizon Europe Cluster 5 projects, ARD Group Informatics can act as:

• Technology / Solution Partner – designing and implementing AI components, data platforms, digital twins, monitoring systems and user interfaces.

• Pilot and Demonstration Partner – supporting pilots and demonstrations with real-life digital solutions and local integration.

• Partner in Exploitation and Business Modelling – contributing to exploitation strategies, business models and market analysis for the developed solutions and platforms.
